  • The Irish Connection - Michael W
    The Irish Connection - Michael W. Walker The Irish Connection By R.W. Bro. Michael W. Walker Grand Secretary, Grand Lodge of Ireland This Short Talk Bulletin has been adapted from remarks given at the 200th Anniversary of Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. We thank R.W. Bro. Walker for permitting us to share them with his American Brethren. The Grand Lodge of Ireland was five years old, at least, when the first record exists of a Time Immemorial Lodge – St. John's Lodge – in Philadelphia. This was, of course, followed by the first Regular Warranted Lodge in America, three years later, in Boston. I say the Grand Lodge of Ireland was at least five years old in 1730, because we date our Constitution from the first record, in 1725, of a Grand Lodge Meeting ''June 26th, St. John,s Day: More than '100 gentlemen ' met in the 'Yellow Lion in Warbrough Street' and later went to King's Arms. The procession included 'the Masters and Wardens of the Six Lodges of Gentlemen Freemasons, who are under the jurisdiction of the Grand Master, and the Private Brothers, all in coaches' (it being a very rainy day). A new Grand Master, Rt. Hon. the Earl of Ross was elected. After a meal they went to a play." Clearly, therefore, Grand Lodge was in earlier existence though we cannot say exactly when, or challenge the claim of our much larger Sister Grand Lodge that she is the Mother Grand Lodge. There are, of course, records of Time Immemorial Lodges going back much earlier in Ireland.

  • 2010 Commission Report
    2010 Commission Report BAJA CALIFORNIA The two groups representing the Grand Lodge of Baja California agreed at the meeting of the Commission last year to sit down with the assistance of selected mediators and work for a resolution of their differences. This was accomplished and M :.W :. Franco Magdaleno Soto representing one faction, and M :.W :. Bro. Hector Pablo Meixueiro, representing the other faction signed the "California Agreement" which summarized the terms for unification of the two groups. Following that meeting, the Grand Lodge group headed by G.M. Soto ratified the agreement The Grand Lodge group headed by G.M Meixueiro would not concur with the agreement. During the year, several attempts to encourage completion of the ratification process were unsuccessful. Both Grand Masters attended the current meeting of the Commission, and both agreed to negotiate BOLIVIA A new Grand Lodge has surfaced in Bolivia, named the Grand Lodge of York Rite for Bolivia, located in the Department (state) of Cochabamba. It was founded in June of 2008 and composed of members from the Grand Lodge of Bolivia. There is no evidence of them being constituted by a regular Grand Lodge, nor is there a pact or treaty that the Grand Lodge of Bolivia will share the jurisdiction with them. The claim of this Grand Lodge is that the Constitution of Bolivia gives them, and no one else, sovereignty in the Department of Cochabamba. It is suspected that this may be true politically, but not Masonicly. This Grand Lodge has not been recognized by any other Grand Lodges, but they claim legitimacy by virtue of the fact that their members come from Lodges of the Grand Lodge of Bolivia, which is recognized by the United Grand Lodge of England.

  • Royal Order of Scotland
    A History of The Royal Order of Scotland Taken From: “ High-Ways and Bi-Ways of Freemasonry” 1924 MOST of the authentic information regarding the establishment and history of this ancient and distinguished Order has been collected by those indefatigable Masonic historians, Brothers Hughan, Gould and Murray Lyon, and, during the year 1910, the various facts available were collated and put together in a very readable form by Brother E. Fox Thomas, the Provincial Grand Master of the Order for Yorkshire, in the pages of the Freemason. The fact that, as regards authentic documentary records, the Royal Order of Scotland can claim seniority over every other Masonic system - the Craft only excepted - is alone sufficient to invest it with the highest degree of interest, but, as a matter of fact, its antiquity is only one of its many claims to our respect and veneration. At one time it was considered right to ascribe a French origin to the Royal Order, but now the accepted opinion is that it is essentially British. On any other assumption it would be difficult to account for the Ritual which is in a rough but attractive doggere verse, undoubtedly early even if here and there it betrays signs of more recent modification. The Legends and all their associations are purely Scottish, but curiously the earliest authentic records have to do with England not Scotland, and the Ritual contains but little indication of any Scottish dialect. There are two degrees: I. Brother of Herridom (H:.R:.D:.M:.) II. Knight of the Rosey Cross (R:.S:.Y:.C:.S:.) The former is conferred in a chapter of H:.R:.D:.M:.

    GRAND LODGE OF MASONS IN MASSACH USETTS SUMMER 2017 Your Lodge: Where it all Begins 50 Year Veterans From the East of Grand Lodge PAUL F. GLEASON Brethren, As I write this, we are in the midst of a classic July heat wave. We have had a busy summer; now is the time the Board of Directors, business office and I complete the important work of budgeting for the new Masonic year. Preparing our Grand Lodge for what’s to come has shown me one thing: it is imperative that we all plan for the road ahead, together. I offer a few suggestions for your own planning: • Conduct an early planning meeting. Getting your members and officers together for a barbeque is a really enjoyable way to do this! • Inspire everyone to come up with new attractions for the statewide Open House (October 21 – but you knew that already, right?) • Plan on receiving the Grand Master’s Award. Put your thoughts on paper and send them to your District Deputy as soon as possible. • Participate in public ceremonies and events in your city or town. Parades, farmer’s markets, town festival days, and fundraisers are all examples of opportunities to get the Square and Compasses out in front of everyone! • Publish your activities online and in the news every month. This is a great job for someone in your lodge to take on if no one does it already. It never hurts to take a picture and send an event write up to your local news outlet for a little publicity! Beyond that, there are also two outstanding programs I’d like to encourage those of you with the time to participate in.

May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Dear Sir Knights and Cousins, I greet you with a traditional Irish blessing, and I pray that you are safe and healthy during these unique times. While this year has been challenging, there have been many special events that have strengthened our hope for a bright future of not just sustainability and continuity, but also of growth and Light. This publication is being stylized as a Knightly News Magazine, as it places emphasis on vignettes that promote a deeper understanding of our Knighthood with thought provoking articles. Education being one of the pillars of our Mission Statement, I believe that a proper application of what we learn and share will help to keep our councils vibrant and prospering. I firmly believe that it is the duty of each Cousin to impart what they have learned to others, sharing their Light and strengthening this Order of Knighthood. A lot of effort has gone into this publication and I extend my appreciation to our contributing writers and to M.E. Kevin B. Sample, who published this edition of the Knightly News Magazine.
